This country would rather deploy the National Guard on protestors than cement justice for Breonna Taylor. If you are wondering what a police state looks like, this is it.

Mike Pence led the biggest concentrated HIV outbreak in U.S. history while he was governor in Indiana because he opposed needle-exchange programs and now has led the country to over 210,000 COVID-19 deaths. Do not listen to a damn thing he says about public health.
Please do not romanticize Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson. They are still pharmaceutical giants that exploit and monopolize lifesaving medicines.
HAPPENING NOW: PRO-PALESTINE ADVOCATES SHUT DOWN THE LOBBY OF THE NEW YORK TIMES DURING A HIGH-LEVEL MEETING TO PROTEST THEIR MANUFACTURED CONSENT OF GENOCIDE.

NEW: Rep.
@RashidaTlaib
has been censured by the House for her comments on Israel — the 26th lawmaker in American history.
TWENTY-TWO Democrats voted to censure Tlaib, while 4 Republicans voted against it.
Four lawmakers voted present.
The Biden administration literally just compared Jewish activists calling for a ceasefire to the neo-nazis in Charlottesville. I’m floored. This is unforgivable.
The White House just compared “anti-Israel protesters” — the phrase used by the Fox News reporter in his question — to the white supremacists who marched in Charlottesville.
HAPPENING NOW: Grand Central fully shut down by Jewish advocates and allies demanding a ceasefire in response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza. cc

Nancy Reagan alongside her husband ignored the AIDS epidemic and didn't even mutter the word "AIDS" until 25,000 Americans, mostly LGBTQ+ people died due to negligence. There are no words to describe how misguided and repugnant it is to do this especially during Pride Month.

Jill Biden hosts unveiling of new US Postal Service stamp that honors Nancy Reagan.
(Nancy Reagan is 6th first lady to be remembered with a stamp.)
Just a reminder, ACT UP used to call the “New York Times” the “New York Crimes” for not covering AIDS protests. Their editorial board should not have any jurisdiction who should be marching in Pride.
"It wasn’t so long ago that L.G.B.T.Q. people were thrilled to cheer for every out person and ally who would march in the Pride parade, including L.G.B.T.Q. police officers," writes the editorial board.
At a time when Palestinians in Gaza are facing horrific conditions, the U.S. should not be vetoing a UN resolution calling for a humanitarian ceasefire and the release of all hostages. The children in Gaza need food, water, and medical supplies. We must do everything possible to…
Tonight I disrupted Reps. Ritchie Torres and Mike Lawler, who are not only supporting a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza but enabling it. As a Jewish New Yorker and as a former employee of the 92nd Street Y, not in my name.
BREAKING: ~30 protesters disrupt a panel at the

featuring Reps. Ritchie Torres (D-NY-15) and Mike Lawler (R-NY-17) earlier tonight, shouting “blood on your hands” and “genocide is not peace.” Protesters included Jewish activists & constituents of both representatives
Fuck this “we need answers” lip service. There is no reality where an 18-year-old young trans homeless girl should be kidnapped by the police. We don’t need answers, we need action. Fuck the NYPD. Fuck the politicians that protect them.
It’s pretty staggering this man has not been barred from teaching at Columbia, while its leadership had no trouble authorizing NYPD to mass arrest students and decided to suspend and evict others in a matter of minutes. Truly broken leadership at Columbia.

This is why I call these pro-Hamas organizations the modern version of the Hitler Youth.
They just repeat and chant the hate they're told to.
Yes, this is my response Tali. Israel bombed an Iranian embassy which has now incited regional and global warfare while Israel continues its genocidal campaign against people in Gaza, now killing over 33,000 (inc. over 200 aid workers) and facilitating a humanitarian crisis.
Wow, Jason. This is your response to a tweet about standing with Israel against Iran’s unprecedented attack?
Most Jewish New Yorkers proudly stand on the side of good (Israel) vs evil (Iranian regime).
Ps: we all know there is no genocide in Gaza. You should be ashamed.
We finally made it home. Luckily the ER was wrong in saying I need surgery. A broken humerus with a brace, 9 staples, and some scrapes. Let’s start the healing and keep protesting from home.

This smear campaign against Cori Bush is both dishonest and disingenuous. The forced displacement of a people coupled with a rising death toll now over 8,000 is by definition ethnic cleansing.

If you ask me and my Jewish friends if we’re okay, we’ll tell you straight up. We are NOT okay. We are watching a genocide unfold under the guise and weaponization of Jewish safety. None of us are safe until ALL of us are safe.
An update: Got 9 staples in the head and got a bad arm break. Most likely going straight to surgery soon. Thanks for the concern and wishes. We’re gonna be alright here.
I kid you not. We were protesting ICE ctd. genocide in Lower Manhattan and telling people dining outdoors to “wake up” and this woman yelled at protestors “vote”.
It’s wild knowing there are revisionists that deny the Nakba while the world is watching this in real time. It’s unbearable seeing the intergenerational trauma Palestinians face.
Being critical of Israel and condemning human rights abuses is not anti-semitic, in fact, calling out injustices is one of the most Jewish acts one can do. I stand in full solidarity with Rep. Ilhan Omar.

I have a very hard time “celebrating” any Democrat wins tonight. The only Palestinian member of Congress was censured tonight—with the help of 22 Democrats. That is where my head and heart is.
Notice how Julián says “every person.”
This verbiage includes trans men, non-binary folks, nonconforming folks, and intersex folks. It is a damn shame this man is not on that debate stage right now.

It's pretty wild to see President Biden take on reproductive justice as a leading campaign issue while healthcare professionals have seen a 300% increase in miscarriages in Gaza and an overall lack of access to reproductive healthcare due to Israel's assault on Gaza
The Biden campaign has launched a minute-long ad, on the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, featuring a Texas woman who was forced to leave the state to get an abortion.
It's been rather astonishing to watch just how badly much of the far-left is miscalculating this moment. It has never been more clear how many of them are firmly ensconced in echo chambers, and it is doing them no favors. Quite the opposite.

It’s important to note that remdesivir was produced from taxpayer funding (over $70 million) just like their HIV drugs Truvada ($2,000/bottle) and Biktarvy ($3,390/bottle). Gilead’s greed continues to cost lives.
“Hi Senator Warren, I’m a member of ACT UP.” “I love ACT UP!” “So we’re gonna end pharma greed to end HIV right?” “Absolutely, in my first days in office I’m gonna use march-in rights to end the monopoly of HIV drugs”.
This past Friday, Jewish advocates and allies staged the largest anti-war civil disobedience the US has seen in decades in Grand Central. Greenblatt and ADL are clearly threatened by our growing movement, but it is absolutely unacceptable to compare anti-zionist Jews to nazis.
ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt: "It's clear that the hardened anti-Zionists from the far left are the photo inverse of the white supremacists from the far right. There is no argument anymore that anti-Zionism is antisemitism. I mean, that is as plain as day."
Let’s not pretend you actually care about the safety of trans Jews Bethany when you authored this awful transphobic piece. Stop weaponizing LGBTQIA+ people to justify your genocidal mania
Two weeks ago, Pres Biden said there’s “no possibility” of a ceasefire. On Oct. 12, his Press Sec said calls for a ceasefire are “repugnant and disgraceful”. Advocates have birddogged electeds, organized mass sit-ins, shut down highways and intersections, but he deserves credit?
This situation would be horrifically worse right now were it not for the decades of foreign policy experience that President Biden brings to the Oval Office, and he won't get the credit he deserves for it.

It’s deeply unsettling to watch one group of people be afforded names and stories while another are just counted death tolls. This is the dehumanization campaign in action.
What this article doesn’t mention is that Facebook approves ads for PrEP lawsuits — so in other words PrEP awareness is “too political” while PrEP misinformation which inhibit future users isn’t. Facebook’s profitization is a detriment to public health.

Breaking News: New York must immediately begin to offer Covid vaccines to all incarcerated people in the state’s prisons and jails, a judge ruled on Monday, saying that they had been arbitrarily excluded in the vaccine rollout.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) chokes up while condemning the resolution to censure her that the House is considering:
“Speaking up to save lives, Mr. Chair, no matter faith, no matter ethnicity, should not be controversial in this chamber.”
As mayor of the largest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel, the significance of Iran's attack for Jewish New Yorkers — many of whom have family in Israel — is not lost on me, especially with Passover just days away.

The death of the seven World Central Kitchen volunteers in Gaza is tragic. This appears to have been a very unfortunate mistake and Israel has committed to conduct a full and thorough investigation to get to the bottom of what happened.

This is being shared as if this is some high brow political analysis, yet it’s just hasbara talking points. Hillary fails to mention the Jenin attacks in July, the fact that 2023 was already the deadliest year for Palestinians, and the unlawful death of Shireen Abu Akleh.

Let’s be very clear. A new variant emerged because of Biden’s failure to break vaccine patents. Something he promised voters while running for President last year. Instead of taking action and sharing vaccine technology, Biden would rather implement a travel ban.
News: Starting Monday, Biden will restrict travel from South Africa & seven other countries after a new variant emerged. Acting on advice from Dr. Fauci & the CDC, the US will restrict travel from South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique & Malawi.
